Well, the reason behind this change is that if the function is extended in some way that e.g. would involve allocation we do not have a way of telling it to the caller. More specifically, vshInitDebug only relies on some hardcoded environment variables (by a mistake) that aren't documented anywhere so neither virsh's nor virt-admin's documented environment variables take effect. One possible solution would be duplicate the code for each CLI client or leave the method be generic and provide means that it could figure out, which client called it, thus initializing the proper environment variables but that could involve operations that might as well fail in certain circumstances and the caller should know that an error occurred.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
